No one likes digging out the car after a storm, so if you have a moment before the snow starts, put a tarp or car cover down over your car. When the snow stops, one pull will leave your ride clean and snow-free.

Grab a waterproof tarp (like this one at Amazon) and put it over your car. If it’s wide enough to touch the ground, weigh it down with rocks or tie it down around your car. Just make sure you can get to the anchors after the snow. . When you remove the tarp, pull slowly so that you don’t dump the snow everywhere. Shake the tarp out in a part of your yard or the street that won’t block other cars or traffic.

You can use this same technique to quickly remove snow from your front steps and walkway (if you have enough tarps.) For a demonstration, check out the video above or hit the link below.
